Description
Based on the most current P-TAP report and field inspections, various segments will be recommended annually for rehabilitation. The purpose of this annual program is to rehabilitate and maintain the City’s pavement condition. This project will prolong the lifespan of the current pavement and prevent further deterioration and reduction in the Pavement Condition Index (PCI – a numerical rating system from 0/complete failure to 100/excellent condition).

Depending on the assessed PCI and type of deficiencies, this project will include preventive measures such as crack sealing, slurry seal, micro-surfacing, and cape seal for pavement in fair to good condition. Restoration measures such as grind and overlay, dig-outs, and cold-in-place recycling for pavement in fair to poor condition.

Rehabilitation/Reconstruction measures to remove and replace pavement in poor to failed condition.

History, Status, or Impact if Delayed
Continued deterioration of pavement conditions on the various road types, thereby resulting in higher maintenance and reconstruction costs.

Description
The construction impacts from the WPCP upgrade project resulted in pavement deterioration. This project will rehabilitate Tennent Ave. from San Pablo Ave. to WPCP. In February 2021, the City selected a consultant to complete the preliminary engineering for this project.

History, Status, or Impact if Delayed
In preparation of this project, the City retained a consultant to perform internal CCTV on this section of roadway. The inspection was completed in early 2021. Coordinating collection system improvements with street resurfacing projects ensures that sewer improvements are made prior to the resurfacing so that manholes and valve covers may be properly realigned, and repairs and replacements are made in a cost-effective manner. This also avoids cutting and patching recently paved streets. The City of Hercules will reimburse $86,430 for this project. In addition, this project is being coordinated with RO1902 for efficient implementation.

Description
The San Pablo Avenue bridge over the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad is an integral part of the area’s transportation network. The age and condition assessment of the bridge supports replacement. The City was approved for initial funding from the Caltrans Highway Bridge Program (HBP). In February 2020, the City awarded a contract to a consultant for preliminary engineering (PE) to advance the project. The PE will be completed in two phases due to funding limitations. Completion of preliminary design is necessary to develop a final cost estimate for the project. Unfunded portions of this project appear in the Unfunded list.

Description
A feasibility study will allow the City to plan and phase the construction of future recycled water distribution system infrastructure. The study will identify potential recycled water customers, evaluate the quantity, quality, and recycled water distribution system options to address the needs of potential users in surrounding areas, seek opportunities to phase the construction of a recycled water delivery system, and develop planning-level cost options for the phased system.

History, Status, or Impact if Delayed
Recycled water delays or eliminates the need to construct more potable water facilities, sustains the economy with increased water supply reliability, protects the environment, safeguards investments in parks and landscaping with drought proof or drought resistant water supply, and contributes to a green and healthy environment. In 2019, East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD) prepared an Updated Recycled Waster Plan which considered the potential for potable reuse in EBMUD’s water service area. The development of a new recycled water supply for the Phillips 66 refinery in Rodeo using effluent from the Pinole-Hercules and Rodeo wastewater treatment plants was among the recommended non-potable reuse projects. This project is estimated to deliver up to 3.67 MGD of recycled water to the refinery for use in their boilers and cooling towers. The combined final disinfected effluent from both plants would be pumped at the Rodeo Pump Station to the refinery for treatment a new advanced recycled water treatment plan. This project was recommended by EBMUD because it would deliver a large amount of water to a single customer, with comparatively few pipelines required due to the short distance between the sources of wastewater and the Phillips 66 Refinery General Plan Goals/Policies

GROWTH MANAGEMENT
CITY OF PINOLE GENERAL PLAN 4.0-1

INTRODUCTION

PURPOSE
The Growth Management Element establishes policies to
direct growth within Pinole and indicates how the City
intends to participate in regional land use and
transportation planning efforts. The Growth Management
Element includes level of service standards and
performance standards for traffic and the provision of
public services (e.g., fire, police, parks, sanitary sewer facilities, water and flood control) in order to ensure that public facilities are provided to accommodate growth
consistent with adopted standards. By adopting and
implementing this element, the City of Pinole establishes a comprehensive, long-range program that will match the demands for public facilities and services generated by new development or redevelopment with plans, capital improvement programs and development mitigation programs to ensure facilities are provided at an appropriate time and level to serve new development. Specifically, the Growth Management Element seeks to:

1. Attain a new level of mutually beneficial communication and coordinated planning between Pinole and its neighboring jurisdictions, other public agencies and regional agencies.

2. Provide community facilities, commercial services and amenities easily accessible to and from residential neighborhoods.

3. Support further development of bicycle and pedestrian facilities.

4. Provide a safe, attractive and efficient circulation system that ensures convenient access to all residential, business and recreational areas by various modes of transportation.

5. Encourage future growth to locate along the primary travel corridors through the community and in areas that are or can easily be served by transit.

6. Guide future growth so that at buildout the community remains an attractive, uncrowded and pleasant place to live and work.

The Growth Management Element also expresses a vision for the future where sustainable development and land use practices provide for the needs of existing residents and businesses while preserving choices for future generations.1

1 Sustainable development practices refer to the use of architectural and planning methods that address the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Specific examples include the use of solar panels for energy conservation, placing jobs near housing to reduce vehicle trips, and infill development in urban areas to reduce the consumption of agricultural land. Policies related to sustainability are identified with a symbol.

VISION STATEMENT
Pinole will play an active role
in promoting coordinated
regional land use and
transportation planning, while
promoting sound local land
use choices that support infill
development along circulation
corridors that are served by
existing infrastructure and
transit.

CHAPTER 4

GROWTH MANAGEMENT

4.0-2 CITY OF PINOLE GENERAL PLAN

GOVERNMENT CODE AUTHORITY
While a Growth Management Element is not a State-mandated general plan element, the Growth Management Element of the Pinole General Plan is adopted pursuant to the authority granted to local jurisdictions by Section 65303 of the Government Code of the State of California, which states:

The general plan may include any other elements or address other subjects which, in the judgment of legislative body, relate to the physical development of the county or city.

The content of the Growth Management Element is dictated by the requirements of the Contra Costa County Transportation Authority (CCTA), and this element follows a specific format required by that agency. The element also serves as a means for the CCTA to determine whether the City is in compliance with policies that support the receipt of Measure J funding.

RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER GENERAL PLAN ELEMENTS
The Growth Management Element is not intended to supersede the goals or policies of the other elements of the General Plan. When other elements of the General Plan are updated, it may be appropriate to amend the Growth Management Element to ensure an internally consistent and comprehensive set of City goals, policies and actions.

Chapter 5: The land use framework for implementing the Growth Management Element policies and the Urban Limit Line (Figure 5.1) are established by the Land Use and Economic Development Element.

Chapter 6: Consistent with the requirements of Measure J, the City of Pinole has an adopted Housing Element that meets the requirements of the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD).

Chapter 7: The Circulation Element establishes level of service standards that govern traffic operations in Pinole.

Chapter 8: The Community Services and Facilities Element establishes performance standards for public services and facilities that are used to evaluate the effect of new development in Pinole.

Chapter 10 The Natural Resources and Open Space Element discusses man-made hazards, development constraints, conservation policies that affect the potential siting of land uses and open space policies.

Chapter 11: The Sustainability Element discusses ways for Pinole to incorporate more green practices, including ways affecting how Pinole will grow.

CHAPTER 4

GROWTH MANAGEMENT
CITY OF PINOLE GENERAL PLAN 4.0-3

BACKGROUND
Local Requirements
In November 2004, voters approved Measure J, extending the Contra Costa County Transportation Improvement and Growth Management Program (Measure C, 1988) by 25 years. That action established a 0.5 percent countywide sales tax through the year 2034 that will be used to address existing major regional transportation problems. To qualify for its share of the sales tax, the City of Pinole will:

1. Adopt a Growth Management Element as part of the General Plan;

2. Adopt a development mitigation program (adopted by Resolution 2008-92 on June 17, 2008);

3. Provide diverse housing options for people who live and work in Pinole (refer to Chapter 6, Housing Element);

4. Participate in cooperative multi-jurisdictional planning (Pinole continues to be an active participant on the West Contra Costa Transportation Advisory Committee);

5. Maintain the adopted Urban Limit Line (ULL) (adopted by Resolution 2007-12 on February 6, 2007);

6. Implement a five-year Capital Improvement Program (the 5-year CIP is updated annually); and

7. Adopt a Transportation Systems Management Ordinance or Resolution (adopted by Ordinance 2006-06 on June 20, 2006).

Measure J requires that tax revenues be dedicated to transportation projects in Contra Costa County and to the implementation of a Growth Management Program by all the cities and the County. Specifically, Measure J provides funding for three categories of transportation projects:

1. Transportation projects identified in Measure J;

2. Paratransit programs; and

3. Transportation projects funded by Local Street Maintenance and Improvement or “Return-to-Source” funds.

Return-to-Source funds are revenues derived from the additional sales tax that are distributed to participating general purpose governments in Contra Costa County. The system of distribution is based on a formula which includes the jurisdiction’s population and the miles of streets and highways within the jurisdiction. Measure J requires that in order to receive Return-to-Source funds, participating jurisdictions prepare a Growth Management Element. This element satisfies the requirement for the City of Pinole and is consistent with the standards established by Measure J and the Contra Costa County General Plan.

CHAPTER 4

GROWTH MANAGEMENT

4.0-4 CITY OF PINOLE GENERAL PLAN

PLANNING FOR GROWTH
As discussed in the Background Report, the Pinole population is projected to grow by about 2,761 people between 2000 and 2030 (an almost 13 percent increase).2 The number of households is expected to increase by 1,317 between 2000 and 2030 (a 16 percent increase).

The average household size in the Pinole Planning Area is projected to decrease from 2.91 persons per household in 2000 to 2.82 in 2030. The City of Pinole is planning for growth to occur primarily along San Pablo Avenue, Appian Way and Pinole Valley Road. By concentrating development on these corridors and coordinating policy and capital improvement planning with neighboring jurisdictions and other transit agencies, the City seeks to:

1. Ensure a healthy jobs/housing balance;

2. Accommodate the housing needs of people who live and work in Pinole;

3. Accommodate the City’s share of regional growth while maintaining acceptable traffic circulation standards; and

4. Participate in regional planning efforts.

Jobs/Housing Balance
For purposes of the Growth Management Element, jobs/housing balance is defined as the reasonable opportunity for people to live and work within the Planning Area. Three components of jobs/housing balance were analyzed:

1. The number of jobs as a percentage of the number of employed residents (i.e., total jobs/total employed residents);

2. Average household income and the implicit relationship between income and the ability to pay housing costs; and

3. The amount of vacant land by current zoning designation.

Maintaining a reasonable jobs/housing balance is important because it:

1. Reduces the need for residents to use regional transportation infrastructure;

2. Reduces the amount of household income that must be used for transportation costs;

3. Has positive environmental impacts, because of overall reduction in commute trips;

4. Reduces the amount of time residents must spend commuting and allows the use of that time for leisure activities; and

5. Is important to the overall health and vitality of the community, by creating greater opportunities for community involvement and interaction.

Housing Needs
For Pinole, the regional housing need is determined by the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG), based upon an overall regional housing need number established by the State. In accordance with state law, ABAG has determined the fair share of the regional housing need that must be planned for during the 2007 to 2014 planning period. State law also requires that the allocation of regional housing needs consider the need for housing across all income levels. These income categories, as defined by the State, are:

Very Low: up to 50 percent of median income
Low: between 50 and 880 percent of median income
Moderate: between 80 and 120 percent of median income
Above Moderate: above 120 percent of median income
Pinole’s allocation for the 2007–2014 period is 323 total housing units, of which 180 must be affordable. The breakdown of required affordable units is 83 (26 percent) must be affordable to very low-income households, 49 (15 percent) affordable to low-income households, and 48 (15 percent) affordable to moderate-income households. The allocation for above moderate-income households is 143 (44 percent) housing units.

Most of the vacant or redevelopable sites that are designated in the General Plan for singlefamily or multiple-family use within the Pinole Planning Area are small infill lots that are already served by necessary infrastructure and are within the existing service areas of the City’s Police and Fire departments.

Traffic Capacity
Pinole has participated in the development of the West County Traffic Model and Action Plan and has developed specific standards for traffic level of service based on the model and on the subregional Action Plan for Routes of Regional Significance. Measure J, which extended Measure C through the year 2034, established two basic categories of routes: (1) routes of regional significance and (2) basic routes.

Routes of regional significance in Pinole are Interstate 80, San Pablo Avenue and Appian Way.

In west Contra Costa County, the Action Plan for Routes of Regional Significance is developed by the West Contra Costa Transportation Advisory Committee (WCCTAC).

Actions to improve basic routes are addressed at the local level through the development of other General Plan implementation programs and the City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP). The City has established traffic level of service (LOS) standards in the Circulation Element (Chapter 7). Currently, all roadways meet City standards.

CHAPTER 4

GROWTH MANAGEMENT

4.0-6 CITY OF PINOLE GENERAL PLAN
The Circulation Element also projects future traffic conditions through the year 2030. According to projected volumes, only a few intersections and road segments will eventually function at LOS F, which is the lowest level of service and indicates “breakdown conditions.” Increases in daily volumes in segments along San Pablo Avenue, Appian Way and Pinole Valley Road will begin to exceed the capacity of the roadways. The increase in daily volumes can be attributed to growth in Pinole as well as in the adjacent areas, such as Hercules, San Pablo and the unincorporated county. Solutions for the LOS F street sections will need to be developed.

While there may be improvements at some intersections and road segments that could improve the level of service, constraints in Old Town Pinole make it difficult to increase traffic capacity without detracting from important community attributes. Traffic improvements that would widen San Pablo Avenue in Old Town, or support vehicular circulation at the expense of pedestrian circulation, have the potential to change the historic character of Old Town Pinole, damage the economic vitality of the area and potentially decrease public safety and enjoyment. For those reasons, the City favors acceptance of LOS F as the traffic circulation threshold for the Old Town section of San Pablo Avenue.

The West County computerized traffic model, developed in conjunction with CCTA, the five west Contra Costa County cities and the local transit agencies, can be used to analyze existing and anticipated traffic levels impact on basic and regional routes. The model integrates transportation demands in the cities of El Cerrito, Hercules, Pinole, Richmond and San Pablo, and the surrounding unincorporated areas, including Bay Area-wide through traffic along the major travel corridors. Refer to the Circulation Element (Chapter 7) for a discussion of existing and anticipated circulation conditions.

West County Action Plan
The West County Action Plan is a program of improvements to be carried out by the members of the West Contra Costa County Transportation Advisory Committee (WCCTAC) to improve and maintain the network of regional routes in west Contra Costa County. The five west county cities, the County, Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART), WestCAT and the other transit agencies combine their efforts to ensure that traffic and transit facilities can handle the needs of the community into the future.

The Action Plan is required as part of the Growth Management Program and is prepared by CCTA, in consultation with WCCTAC, to reflect a regional view of transportation needs and issues, and ultimately, implementing actions and projects for regional routes of significance.

Projects are funded and carried out through local capital improvement programs, Return–toSource funding and Measure J project funding.

SERVICE CAPACITY CONSIDERATIONS
There are a number of conditions and infrastructure considerations that affect service capacity in Pinole. Some of the most important issues (e.g., traffic, sewage disposal and the provision of emergency services) will require coordinated efforts with adjoining communities and regional planning agencies. The following trends and inter-jurisdictional considerations are fundamental to Pinole’s growth management planning.

CHAPTER 4

GROWTH MANAGEMENT
CITY OF PINOLE GENERAL PLAN 4.0-7

1. Regional growth has occurred at a much higher rate than growth in Pinole and has impacted transportation infrastructure at a disproportionately high rate.

Based on ABAG Projections 2007, the Planning Area of Pinole grew at a much slower rate in the last decade than did Contra Costa County and neighboring Solano County (see Table

4.1–Regional Population Comparison). The Pinole Planning Area includes unincorporated portions of the county that abut Pinole.

Table 4.1
Regional Population Comparison
2000 2010 % Change
Pinole Planning Area 30,806 32,300 5%
Contra Costa County 948,816 1,061,900 12%
Solano County 394,542 455,200 15%
Bay Region 6,783,762 7,412,500 9%
Source: ABAG, Projections 2007
Accordingly, growth in surrounding communities has placed a much higher demand on transportation infrastructure than has growth in Pinole. This condition has resulted in increased congestion at Interstate 80 ramps in Pinole and has contributed to traffic congestion on surface streets as motorists seek alternative routes to a congested interstate.

While Pinole has the ability to influence local traffic conditions, participation in regional planning efforts is critical for ensuring adequate transportation improvements to serve the City of Pinole.

2. Wastewater treatment capacity is shared between the cities of Pinole and Hercules.

Wastewater treatment capacity at the Pinole/Hercules Water Pollution Control Plant (WPCP) is currently shared between the cities of Hercules and Pinole. In the last decade, growth in the City of Hercules has generated greater demand for new service connections than has growth in Pinole, and this trend is expected to continue into the future (see Table 4.2–Local Population Comparison). Service limitations, however, are a function of peak flows during periods of wet weather. Aging infrastructure in Pinole contributes substantially to wet weather flow as the result of inflow and infiltration. It is worth noting that a little over half of the Pinole Planning Area is served by the WPCP. Accordingly, the absolute population numbers contained in Table 4.2 are less informative for planning purposes than the percentage of change over time.

Source: ABAG, Projections 2007
The Pinole/Hercules WPCP needs to upgrade in order to accommodate existing wet weather peak period flows. Any future WPCP upgrade should also be designed to accommodate projected growth in the cities of Pinole and Hercules. Growth management policies should establish appropriate mechanisms for addressing existing infrastructure needs, accounting for future projected growth and assigning available capacity. Please see the Community Services and Facilities Element (Chapter 8) for more information.

3. The growth rate of local employment opportunities exceeds the growth rate in the number of employed residents, providing local work for Pinole Planning Area residents.

Between 2000 and 2030, based solely in the number of jobs and employed residents in the city, the ratio of employed residents to jobs is expected to improve in Pinole from 2.6 to 2.3 employed residents per job. The number of employed residents is expected to increase by 3,596 over the next 30 years, while the number of local jobs is expected to increase by 2,410.

4. Housing and commercial development is anticipated to occur slowly and incrementally over the next 30 years.

Most large land holdings in Pinole have been developed. With few exceptions, growth in Pinole is expected to occur on small infill lots that can accommodate housing and mixed-use development. Exceptions to this condition exist in redevelopment opportunities at the Appian 80 Shopping Center, Gateway West, and Doctors Hospital, and at industrial properties located at the west end of San Pablo Avenue.

5. The high cost of market-rate housing, in conjunction with an increase in lower-paying employment opportunities, reinforces the need to provide diverse housing opportunities to households at all income levels.

While the number of jobs is expected to increase, many will be at salary levels that are below what is needed to afford market-rate housing in Pinole. While Pinole remains comparatively affordable for the San Francisco Bay region, proximity to employment centers, an attractive small-town character and an advantageous climate are expected to perpetuate increasing demand in a community with limited supply and generate higher housing costs. Job growth in Pinole has been primarily in the services industries, jobs with traditionally lower earning potential. This combination will make it difficult to provide housing

CITY OF PINOLE GENERAL PLAN 4.0-9
opportunities for people who work in the community unless services and infrastructure are capable of accommodating increased housing production.

CIRCULATION
CITY OF PINOLE GENERAL PLAN 7.0-1

VISION STATEMENT
Pinole will maintain and improve
a well-planned, multimodal
circulation system. The City will
promote accessible, economically
viable and environmentally
sound transportation options that
meet the needs of residents,
employers, employees and
visitors for safe, convenient and
efficient travel by a variety of
methods.

INTRODUCTION
This element of the General Plan describes the existing transportation conditions in the City of Pinole. It
describes the various modes in the existing
transportation system, the existing traffic volumes on
area roadways, and current levels of service. Relevant
planning documents and policies and planned roadway
improvements for the area are also described.

A Circulation Element has been required as part of local general plans since 1955. Guidelines adopted by the
California Office of Planning and Research emphasize
the need to develop a “balanced, multimodal
transportation system.” Cost efficiency and protection of environmental quality, including air quality, require attention to non-auto transportation facilities and careful coordination with the Land Use and Economic Development Element (Chapter 5).

Section 65302(b) of the Government Code summarizes state law requirements:

A circulation element consisting of the general location and extent of existing and proposed major thoroughfares, transportation routes, terminals, and other local public utilities and facilities all correlated with the land use element of the plan.

PURPOSE
Traffic congestion and other circulation constraints are major considerations in determining appropriate land uses and responding to future conditions that will affect the quality of life in Pinole. The Circulation Element provides data concerning existing and future conditions as a factual basis for community goals, policies and implementing actions for existing and proposed roadway improvements and other transportation needs.

Pinole’s Circulation Element addresses such issues as regional traffic congestion, traffic impacts on neighborhoods, public transit, trails and parking. More than other elements, the Circulation and Land Use elements act in concert to help achieve a vision of sustainability for the city. This element expresses a vision for the future where sustainable options of transportation, in conjunction with thoughtful development, provide for the needs of existing residents and businesses while preserving choices for future generations.

RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER GENERAL PLAN ELEMENTS
Chapter 4: The Growth Management Element encourages future growth to locate along the primary travel corridors through the community and in areas that are or can easily be served by transit.

Chapter 5: The Land Use and Economic Development Element establishes land use designations that guide future Pinole growth and demands on the circulation system.

CHAPTER 7

CIRCULATION

7.0-2 CITY OF PINOLE GENERAL PLAN
Chapter 8: The Community Services and Facilities Element sets policies for the future maintenance of the road network in Pinole.

Chapter 10: The Natural Resources and Open Space element addresses pedestrian trails and linkages for Pinole.

Chapter 11: The Sustainability Element encourages transit options for Pinole and guides future growth to Pinole’s transit corridors. This element also addresses greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions that may be realized by reducing automobile trips.

ISSUES AND OBJECTIVES

LOCAL AND REGIONAL REQUIREMENTS
A number of agencies and pieces of legislation govern the growth and maintenance of regional and local transportation systems. The Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) is the regional organization responsible for prioritizing transportation projects.

In November 2004, voters approved Measure J, extending the Contra Costa County Transportation Improvement and Growth Management Program (Measure C, 1988) by 25 years. Measure C is enacted by the Contra Costa Transit Authority (CCTA). Full details of pertinent Measure J requirements can be found in the Growth Management Element. Below are highlights of Measure J that relate to the Circulation Element.

Measure J continues a 0.5 percent countywide sales tax through the year 2034 that will be used to address existing major regional transportation problems. To qualify for its share of the sales tax, the City of Pinole will:

1. Adopt a development mitigation program (adopted by Resolution 2008-92 on June 17, 2008);

2. Provide diverse housing options for people who live and work in Pinole (refer to Chapter 6 – Housing Element);

3. Participate in cooperative multi-jurisdictional planning (Pinole continues to be an active participant on the West Contra Costa Transportation Advisory Committee);

4. Maintain the adopted Urban Limit Line (ULL) (adopted by Resolution 2007-12 on February 6, 2007;

5. Implement a five-year capital improvement program (the 5-year CIP is updated annually); and

6. Adopt a Transportation Systems Management Ordinance (adopted by Ordinance 2006-06 on June 20, 2006).

CHAPTER 7

CIRCULATION
CITY OF PINOLE GENERAL PLAN 7.0-3
Pinole has an adopted Growth Management Element as part of its General Plan, as required by Measure J. In addition, Measure J requires that tax revenues be dedicated to transportation projects in Contra Costa County and to the implementation of a Growth Management Program by all the cities and the County. Specifically, Measure J provides funding for three categories of transportation projects:

1. Transportation projects identified in Measure J;

2. Paratransit programs;

3. Transportation projects funded by Local Street Maintenance and Improvement or “Return-to-Source” funds.

Pinole has met and will continue to meet all Measure J requirements.

The West Contra Costa Transportation Advisory Committee (WCCTAC) is one of four Regional Transportation Planning Committees in Contra Costa County, and the committee of which Pinole is a member. The Regional Transportation Planning Committees were created to manage the 1988 Measure C 1/2 cent transportation sales tax projects and programs, as well as its extension, Measure J, approved by Contra Costa voters in 2004. In addition to managing revenues from Measures C and J, WCCTAC also administers the subregional transportation mitigation fee program (STMP) and participates in defining and implementing policies, programs and projects to improve local and regional transportation and air quality.

PINOLE’S EXISTING CIRCULATION SYSTEM
The roadway network in Pinole is made up of Interstate 80 (I-80), operated by the California Department of Transportation, arterials, collectors, and local streets. Roadways in Pinole also support pedestrian and bicycle facilities, though there are some deficiencies in those areas that are discussed below. Two railroad lines run along the San Pablo Bay shoreline and support both passenger (Amtrak) and freight rail service (Union Pacific and Burlington Northern Santa Fe). This circulation network connects to neighboring jurisdictions which offer access to ferry service, passenger rail service, and the Bay Area Regional Transit (BART) system. Routes of regional significance in Pinole are I-80, San Pablo Avenue, and Appian Way. The Background Report contains more details of Pinole’s transportation services and facilities.

Transit Systems
Transit systems provide a motorized alternative to private vehicles. As discussed in the Sustainability Element (Chapter 11), local governments are taking on responsibility for combating climate change. This is done primarily through reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, a large portion of which are caused by automobile transportation. By reducing vehicle miles traveled and single-occupancy vehicle use, and encouraging the use of other transit options, Pinole can meet GHG reduction targets, meet state government requirements for reducing GHG emissions, contribute to efforts to combat climate change and become more sustainable.

CHAPTER 7

CIRCULATION

Bus Service
Bus service in Pinole is provided by the West Contra Costa Transit Authority (WestCAT) and the Alameda Contra Costa Transit Authority (AC Transit). Bus service facilities run primarily along Pinole’s main transportation corridors: San Pablo Avenue, Pinole Valley Road and Appian Way.

Passenger Rail Service
The San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District (BART) provides regional transit service to Alameda, San Francisco, Contra Costa and San Mateo counties. There is currently no BART service in Pinole. However, WestCAT operates the J bus route, which connects to the BART station at El Cerrito del Norte. In addition, the Orinda BART station is approximately 12 miles from the city and the Richmond BART station is approximately 6 miles from the city.

Amtrak operates passenger rail service for three routes that traverse western Contra Costa County. While there is no station in Pinole, the closest stations are an Amtrak station at the Richmond BART station (approximately 6 miles) and the Martinez station (approximately 9 miles), and there are plans to build a ferry and Amtrak station in neighboring Hercules. Two of Amtrak’s routes that stop in Richmond are intrastate services, the Capitol Corridor serving Sacramento/San Jose and the San Joaquin serving Oakland/Bakersfield. The other route is the California Zephyr, an interstate service serving Emeryville/Chicago. The Coast Starlight route, which serves Los Angeles and Seattle, also shares the existing track.

Freight Rail Service
The Union Pacific and Burlington Northern Santa Fe railroads operate freight services that pass through Pinole. The Union Pacific tracks are located along the San Pablo Bay shoreline, which limits possible public access to the shoreline. Amtrak passenger trains share these tracks with the freight trains.

BICYCLING FACILITIES AND PROGRAMS
Pinole currently has few designated bicycle facilities. Reasons for this include disconnection, lack of signage, lack of roadway crossing aids, topography, and lack of bicycle lanes, and road width issues make it difficult to encourage the use of bicycles as a more sustainable transportation alternative.

Bicyclists need parking facilities to access various places and services. Bicycle rack parking is located at City Hall and Fernandez Park. According to the Contra Costa Countywide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan, Pinole requires adequate bike parking facilities at transportation centers, public parks and buildings, recreational facilities, commercial centers, and large multi-family residential projects. Other facilities that may enhance the bicycle system include directional signage indicating points of interest and mileage, water fountains, bicycle loops and bicycle showers at private facilities, and bike boxes at intersections to facilitate high-volume left turns.

CHAPTER 7

CIRCULATION
CITY OF PINOLE GENERAL PLAN 7.0-7

PEDESTRIAN SYSTEMS
Due to the age of existing infrastructure, many sidewalks in Pinole are too narrow to meet the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards and have utility poles and other obstructions in the pedestrian pathway. Certain sidewalks in Pinole also are too narrow to facilitate convenient pedestrian travel. Most signalized intersections have marked crosswalks on all roads and pedestrian-activated signals. Intersections close to I-80 prohibit pedestrian crossing across some road segments, though some pedestrians cross in spite of these prohibitions. Only one intersection has audible crossing signals (San Pablo Avenue at Sunnyview Drive) and none have audible actuation. Marked crosswalks are also generally found at unsignalized intersections on some legs. Pedestrian curb ramps are located at most intersections except at some T-intersections; however, many ramps are steep and are not optimally positioned to lead into the crosswalk. Additionally, many existing pedestrian ramps lack high-contrast textured markings that optimally delineate the pedestrian and vehicle areas of the intersection.

The city’s multi-use paths along Pinole Creek and in Bayfront Park at the Bay Trail provide recreational and transportation opportunities to walkers. The Pinole Creek Trail provides connections to several activity centers, but the Bay Trail must still be completed along the Bay shoreline as discussed in the Community Services and Facilities Element (Chapter 8) and Natural Resources and Open Space Element (Chapter 10). Disconnection, inadequate signage and width issues for bicyclists are equally problematic for pedestrians. Additionally, pathway connections from Tennent Avenue and Railroad Avenue to the Bay Trail are unpaved and unsigned. Neighborhood access to the Pinole Creek Trail is provided at Prune Street but discouraged at Plum Street. The Old Town area also includes convenient transit stops along portions of San Pablo Avenue and Tennent Avenue that are easily accessible to pedestrians.

OTHER TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS

AIRPORTS
The closest airports to Pinole are Oakland International Airport, which is 27 miles away, and San Francisco International Airport, which is 34 miles away. Buchanan Field is a local airport that does not currently support commercial airline service and is located in Concord, approximately 15 miles east of Pinole.

PARKING
Parking in Pinole is generally readily available except in Old Town, though off-street parking lots and metered on-street parking have not been used as a method to manage parking demand.

EXISTING TRANSPORTATION PROGRAMS

TRAFFIC CALMING PROGRAM
Neighborhoods wishing to install or remove speed humps on local or collector streets within residential areas may submit an application to the Public Works Department. According to the adopted residential traffic calming policy approved by the City Council on April 21, 2009, the

CHAPTER 7

CIRCULATION

7.0-8 CITY OF PINOLE GENERAL PLAN
installation or removal of speed humps requires approval from 65 percent of the property owners within a defined area determined by the Public Works Department

TRANSPORTATION DEMAND MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
Developed because of the growth management requirement of Measure C, a transportation demand management program, 511 Contra Costa, was created to promote alternatives to the single-occupant vehicle, such as carpooling, vanpooling, telecommuting, biking, transit and walking in Contra Costa County. The program has three offices in the county. Pinole is represented by the office located in San Pablo.

EAST BAY SMART CORRIDOR PROGRAM
The City of Pinole is a partner of the East Bay SMART Corridors program, the goals of which are to “better manage congestion and incidents along regional routes, improve transportation mobility, efficiency and safety, and to provide timely, multi-modal transportation information to agency transportation managers and to the public”1along three major arterial corridors including the San Pablo Avenue corridor, which runs through Pinole.

I-80 INTEGRATED CORRIDOR MOBILITY PROJECT
The I-80 Integrated Corridor Mobility (I-80 ICM) project is sponsored by the Alameda County Congestion Management Agency, WCCTAC, CCTA, California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), MTC, local agencies including the City of Pinole and local transit agencies in Alameda and Contra Costa counties. The I-80 ICM project’s goal is to enhance the current transportation network along I-80 and its parallel arterials, such as San Pablo Avenue, by building an integrated system that would improve the safety and mobility of all users.

FOCUS
FOCUS, short for the Focusing Our Vision initiative, is a regional planning initiative undertaken by the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) and the MTC in coordination with the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) and the Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC) to support regional development patterns that are compact and transitoriented.

As part of the FOCUS program, all three of Pinole’s major corridors have been designated as potential or planned Priority Development Areas (PDA). PDAs are eligible for capital infrastructure funds, planning grants and technical assistance.

Designation of PDAs in Pinole expresses the City’s priorities for managed growth and sustainability. This is one way the City is continuing to work with regional agencies to accommodate growth and plan future development in a more sustainable manner.

CHAPTER 7

CIRCULATION
CITY OF PINOLE GENERAL PLAN 7.0-13
Regional agencies are working with cities to provide technical assistance and grants and to facilitate development within PDAs. Future funding opportunities are anticipated in partnership with state agencies and other sources to focus regional development within PDAs as part of a long-term strategy to accommodate future growth in a more sustainable manner.

PINOLE’S FUTURE CIRCULATION CONDITIONS
Future traffic conditions for Pinole are projected using the CCTA Travel Demand Model. Level of service (LOS) is a measure of effectiveness by which traffic engineers measure auto and truck service on existing or planned roadways. The definitions of the LOS measures are:

A. Traffic flowing freely
B. Generally unimpeded traffic flow
C. Slower but stable flow with minor delays
D. Reduced speeds and increased delays
E. Slow speeds and significant delays
F. Stop-and-go traffic, high level of delay
According to projected volumes, the future auto traffic conditions in Pinole will generally function at acceptable LOS, with only two intersections and four road segments that will eventually function at LOS E or LOS F. Please see Figure 7.4. While most of Pinole’s roadway system will continue to function within acceptable levels, increases in daily volumes in segments along San Pablo Avenue, Appian Way and Pinole Valley Road will slowly begin to exceed the capacity of the roadway. Since increase in daily volumes is minimally due to growth in Pinole, the increase in daily volumes can mostly be attributed to growth adjacent areas, such as Hercules, San Pablo and the unincorporated county, as well as the lack of alternate transportation options.

Another cause of the degradation in operations can be attributed to the diversion of through traffic from the congested I-80 onto local streets. The anticipated growth in both the San Francisco Bay Area and the Sacramento region is expected to result in increased demand on the I-80 corridor.

Traffic improvements that would widen San Pablo Avenue in Old Town in order to avoid LOS F, or support vehicular circulation at the expense of pedestrian circulation, have the distinct potential to change the historic character of Old Town Pinole, damage the economic vitality of the area, and potentially decrease public safety and enjoyment. The viability of the City being able to purchase additional public right-of-way in that area is not feasible.

For these reasons, and with the overarching theme of sustainability in mind, the City has chosen to adopt policies to enhance bicycle, pedestrian and public transit options.

As part of the ongoing effort to encourage future development along the three main transportation corridors in Pinole (San Pablo Avenue, Pinole Valley Road and Appian Way), the

CHAPTER 7

CIRCULATION

7.0-14 CITY OF PINOLE GENERAL PLAN
City will adopt the Three Corridors Specific Plan. This Specific Plan provides new land use designations, design standards and transit opportunities for the three corridors. One of the development projects that the Specific Plan encourages is the narrowing of San Pablo Avenue through Old Town Pinole. The road would be narrowed down to two lanes, a bike lane added, and pedestrian facilities enhanced, which would slow down traffic, discourage the use of San Pablo Avenue as a bypass for I-80, and encourage economic activity in the Old Town area.

The City will encourage economic development in Old Town that supports this area as a destination and the vibrant cultural heart of the community and discourage the use of San Pablo Avenue in Old Town as a bypass for I-80. Old Town will continue to be served by shared parking facilities and on-street parking as specified in the Zoning Code in order to preserve the character of Old Town. Please see Figure 7.5 for a map of the Old Town Parking District. In addition, the City will encourage road improvements that increase pedestrian safety, especially in areas such as Old Town where there are destinations easily accessed by pedestrians. To this end, the City will support vehicle LOS F as the traffic circulation threshold for the Old Town section of San Pablo Avenue.

It should be noted that several planning efforts are under way to address regional traffic issues that may improve the LOS in Old Town. They include (1) the I-80 Corridor Study by the Sacramento Area Council of Governments, ABAG, the MTC, and the Solano Transportation Authority; and (2) the I-80 Integrated Corridor Mobility Project. Further, the WCCTAC (West Contra Costa Transportation Advisory Committee) Action Plan includes objectives to help alleviate congestion along the I-80 corridor and could reduce the traffic impacts on the local streets in Pinole. The City will continue to work with regional agencies toward improving transportation conditions in Pinole.

ISSUES THIS ELEMENT ADDRESSES
This element provides goals, policies and actions that address the following issues, many of which were raised at public meetings for the Three Corridors Specific Plan, as well as during research to prepare for the update of the General Plan. Some areas of Pinole’s circulation system that are addressed in the goals, policies and actions are:

Expanding and enhancing the pedestrian trail system in Pinole.

Concentration of future development and circulation improvements around Pinole’s three primary transportation corridors: San Pablo Avenue, Pinole Valley Road and Appian Way (also see the Land Use and Economic Development Element (Chapter 5) and the Sustainability Element (Chapter 11)).

Improvements to Pinole’s bicycle facilities.

More walkable streets with wider sidewalks, pedestrian buffers, and more signalized crossings with higher visibility and actuation.

Maintain level of service (LOS) standards for traffic operations, except in Old Town, where the City will work with CCTA to reduce the threshold to LOS F.

CHAPTER 7

CIRCULATION

7.0-22 CITY OF PINOLE GENERAL PLAN
POLICY CE.3.1 Apply the traffic service objectives indicated on Figure 7.4 [of the Circulation Element] for the identified roadways. LOS (level of service) and volume to capacity (V/C) thresholds are defined as follows:

Level of Service A (50 to 59 V/C): Indicates a relatively free flow of traffic, with little or no limitation on vehicle movement or speed.

Level of Service B (60 to 69 V/C): Describes a steady flow of traffic, with only slight delays in vehicle movement and speed. All queues clear in a single signal cycle.

Level of Service C (70 to 79 V/C): Denotes a reasonably steady, highvolume flow of traffic, with some limitations on movement and speed, and occasional backups on critical approaches. LOS C+ = 70 to 75 V/C. LOS C- = 75 to 79 V/C.

Level of Service D (80 to 89 V/C): Denotes the level where traffic nears an unstable flow. Intersections still function, but short queues develop and cars may have to wait through one cycle during short peaks. LOS D+ = 80 to 85 V/C. LOS D- = 85 to 89 V/C.

Level of Service E (90 to 99 V/C): Describes traffic characterized by slow movement and frequent (although momentary) stoppages. This type of congestion is considered severe, but is not uncommon at peak traffic hours, with frequent stopping, long-standing queues, and blocked intersections. LOS E+ = 90 to 94 V/C.

Level of Service F (100+ V/C): Describes stop-and-go traffic characterized by traffic jams and stoppages of long duration. Vehicles at signalized intersections usually have to wait through one or more signal changes, and “upstream” intersections may be blocked by the long queues.

Action CE.3.1.1 Work with WCCTAC and CCTA to revise the Action Plan level of service standard for San Pablo Avenue within Old Town to LOS F and for Appian Way between Mann Drive and I-80 to LOS E as well as new MTSO’s that reflect non-motorized LOS to create a more pedestrian-friendly environment and facilitate pedestrian and bicycle access and circulation.

Action CE.3.1.2 Project applicants shall provide a traffic study forecasting traffic impacts, identifying deficient roadways and intersections, and providing an implementation plan for needed improvements to the satisfaction of the Public Works Director/City Engineer.

Action CE.3.1.3 The City shall develop a Roadway/Trail Master Plan to improve the sidewalk, bike trail, pedestrian trail and roadway system, as necessary for buildout of the General Plan.

CHAPTER 7

CIRCULATION
CITY OF PINOLE GENERAL PLAN 7.0-23

REPORT 9.G.

DATE: JUNE 17, 2025
TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: Melissa Klawuhn, Police Chief, [email protected] Jeremy Crone, Commander, 510-724-8946, [email protected] SUBJECT: ADOPT AND ORDINANCE RENEWING AB481 MILITARY USE EQUIPMENT

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council waive the second reading and adopt an ordinance approving the renewal of the City’s Military Equipment Use Policy as Stated in Chapter 2.60 “Military Equipment Policy” of the Pinole City Municipal Code, based upon approval of the Pinole Police Department’s 2024-2025 Annual Military Equipment Report, in compliance with AB 481.

BACKGROUND
California Assembly Bill (AB) 481 (Government Code §7070 et seq.) requires the Pinole Police Department (“Department”) to obtain City Council approval of a military equipment use policy by ordinance before purchasing, raising funds for, acquiring or using "military equipment" as defined in Government Code §7070 (c). Under AB 481, the City Council may only approve the policy if it makes specific findings regarding the equipment including safeguards, cost effectiveness, reasonableness of use, and fiscal impact.

On May 3, 2022, the City Council approved the Department’s Policy (identified as Department Policy 707) finding it meets the requirements under AB 481 and introduced and adopted an ordinance adding Chapter 2.60 “Military Equipment Policy” to the Pinole Municipal Code (Ord. 2022-02).

REVIEW AND ANALYSIS
Once the Department obtains approval for a military equipment use policy, AB 481 requires the Department submit to the City Council an annual military equipment report for each type of military equipment approved within one year of approval, and annually thereafter for as long as the military equipment is available for use. The Department must also make each annual military equipment report publicly available on its internet website for as long as the military equipment is available for use. Additionally, the City Council must review the ordinance that it has adopted, approving the funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment, at least annually, and vote on whether to renew the ordinance at a regular meeting. During the review process, the City Council must determine, based on the military equipment report, whether each type of military equipment in the report has complied with the standards for approval set forth in Government Code sections 7071(d)(1) and 7071(e)(2). The City Council most recently approved and reaffirmed the Department’s Policy on July 2, 2024 (Ordinance 2024-04).

In compliance with the Government Code, the Department’s annual use report and policy was released to the community via the Department’s transparency portal on May 7, 2025, and provided to City Council. On June 3, 2025, the Department held a well-publicized and conveniently located public meeting, at which the general public was able to discuss and ask questions regarding the annual military equipment report and the law enforcement agency’s funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment.

By this ordinance, the Department seeks City Council 1) approval of its 2024-2025 annual military equipment report, 2) authority to acquire one (1) DJI Mavic 3 Thermal (M3T) UAS drone and 3) renewal of Pinole Police Department Policy 707 upon a finding that the report has complied with the standards for approval set forth in Government Code sections 7071(d)(1) and 7071(e)(2). If approved on second read, the ordinance and policy will go into effect in thirty (30) days.

On June 3, 2025, at a regularly scheduled City Council Meeting, the Department presented its annual use report and proposed policy to Council for review and approval. Additionally, a public hearing was held at which the general public was able to discuss and ask questions regarding the Department’s annual military equipment report and policy. After review and consideration, four councilmembers voted affirmatively and one councilmember voted against approval of the annual report and introduction by title only of the proposed ordinance to approve and renew Chapter 2.60 to the Pinole Municipal Code adopting the Policy in compliance with AB 481.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no direct fiscal impact from the adoption of the ordinance.

On September 30, 2021, the Governor of the State of California approved Assembly Bill 481 (codified as Chapter 12.8 of the California Government Code) requiring law enforcement agencies such as the Pinole Police Department to have a military use policy approved by the City Council prior to requesting, seeking funding, acquiring or using military equipment. Assembly Bill 481 allows the governing body to approve the policy within its jurisdiction only if it determines that the military equipment meets specified standards.

On May 3, 2022, the City of Pinole Council adopted Ordinance 2022-02 approving Pinole Police Department Policy #707: Military Equipment Funding, Acquisition, and Use. As required by Assembly Bill 481 and the Ordinance, annually the Pinole Police Department must prepare a report on the use of each type of military equipment approved in the Policy over the last year. Subsequently, the City Council must then review the Ordinance, Policy and Annual Report, and determine whether the Department’s use of military equipment in the past year complied with the Policy, and whether to continue the Ordinance and Policy, take action (by ordinance) to modify the Policy or repeal the Ordinance.

As set forth in the Policy, the Pinole Police Department retains and employs limited military equipment to safeguard its community. Pinole Police Department officers and certified instructional staff, receive training throughout the year on the use of military equipment approved under the Policy. The Department also maintains a current Certificate of Compliance for California Government Code with the State of California, via Cal OES.

CITY COUNCIL

REPORT XXX
DATE: June 3, 2025
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: COMMANDER JEREMY CRONE
SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING; CONDUCT FIRST READING OF ORDINANCE APPROVING RENEWAL OF THE CITY OF PINOLE’S MILITARY
EQUIPMENT POLICY AS STATED IN CHAPTER 2.60 OF THE
PINOLE MUNICIPAL CODE; AND REVIEW OF 2024-20254
ANNUAL REPORT IN COMPLIANCE WITH AB 481

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council conduct a public hearing, review and approve the 2024-2025 Pinole Police Department Annual Military Equipment Report, and waive full reading and introduce by title only an ordinance approving and re-adopting a Military Equipment Use Policy as Stated in Chapter 2.60 “Military Equipment Policy” of the Pinole City Municipal Code in compliance with AB 481.

BACKGROUND
On September 30, 2021, Governor Newsom signed into law Assembly Bill (AB) 481, requiring a law enforcement agency's applicable governing body, the City Council, to adopt a Military Equipment Use Policy relating to the funding, acquisition, and use of military equipment and implement it by Ordinance. On May 3, 2022, the City Council approved the Department’s Policy (identified as Department Policy 707) finding it meets the requirements under AB 481 and introduced and adopted an ordinance adding Chapter 2.60 “Military Equipment Policy” to the Pinole Municipal Code (Ord. 2022-02).

AB 481 (Government Code §7072) requires that the Department submit to the City Council an annual military equipment report for each type of military equipment approved within one year of approval, and annually thereafter for as long as the military equipment is available for use.

The annual report shall include a summary of each type of military equipment, its intended purpose, how each type of equipment was used by the agency during the preceding year, a summary of any complaints received concerning the equipment, the results of any internal audits pertaining to violations of the 1 military equipment use policy, the total cost for each type of equipment, and quantity possessed.

Additionally, the City Council must review the ordinance that it has adopted, at least annually, and vote on whether to renew the ordinance at a regular meeting. During the review process,

City Council Report
June 3, 2025
the City Council must determine, based on the military equipment report, whether each type of military equipment in the report has complied with the standards for approval set forth in Government Code sections 7071(d)(1) and 7071(e)(2). If it determines a type of equipment identified in the report has not complied with the standards for approval, the City Council must either disapprove of the renewal of the ordinance or require modifications to the military equipment use policy in a manner that will resolve the lack of compliance.

The City Council most recently approved and reaffirmed the Department’s Policy (identified as Department Policy 707) on July 2, 2024, finding it met the requirements under AB 48. By this ordinance the Department seeks 1) approval of its 2024-2025 annual military equipment report, 2) authority to acquire one (1) DJI Mavic 3 Thermal (M3T) UAS drone defined as “military equipment” under the statute, and 3) renewal of Pinole Police Department Policy 707 upon a finding that the report has complied with the standards for approval set forth in Government Code sections 7071(d)(1) and 7071(e)(2).

Attachment A is the proposed ordinance. Attachment B is the 2024-2025 Annual Report, including the inventory list of military equipment the Department has and intends to use in the future that falls within the definition of “military equipment” under AB 481. Attachment C is the Department’s military equipment use policy. Attachment D is the Department’s Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) Operations policy.

DISCUSSION
Annual Report
AB 481 requires a law enforcement agency that receives approval for a military equipment use policy to submit to the City Council an annual military equipment report for each type of military equipment approved within one year of approval, and annually thereafter for as long as the military equipment is available for use. (Govt. Code §§7071(d)(1) and 7071(e)(2).) The law enforcement agency must also make each annual military equipment report publicly available on its internet website for as long as the military equipment is available for use.

Government Code section 7072 (a) states that the annual report must include the following information:

1. A summary of any complaints or concerns received concerning the military equipment.

2. The results of any internal audits or information about violations of the military equipment use policy. This includes any actions taken in response.

3. The total annual cost for each type of military equipment, including acquisition, personnel, training, transportation, maintenance, storage, upgrade, and other ongoing costs, and from what source funds will be provided for the military equipment in the calendar year following submission of the annual military equipment report.

4. The quantity possessed for each type of military equipment.

5. If the law enforcement agency intends to acquire additional military equipment in the next year, the quantity sought for each type of military equipment.

6. A summary of how the military equipment was used and the purpose of its use.

City Council Report
June 3, 2025
In compliance with the Government Code, the Department’s annual use report and policy was released to the community, via the Department’s transparency portal on May 6, 2025, and provided to City Council. Within 30 days of submitting and publicly releasing its annual military equipment report, the Department is required hold at least one well-publicized and conveniently located public meeting, at which the general public may discuss and ask questions regarding the annual military equipment report and the law enforcement agency’s funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment. That meeting is being held concurrently with the presentation of this ordinance. The annual use report contains all the required elements of Government Code section 7072 (a) set forth above.

The 2024-2025 Annual Report (Attachment B) outlines the Department’s military equipment inventory and usage, community complaints over use of military equipment, and internal audits from May 1, 2024, through April 30, 2025. An inventory was completed on April 12, 2025, which identified all of the Department’s military equipment in preparation to fulfill the obligations set by Assembly Bill 481. Equipment used by the Department during the preceding year is found to be consistent with current Policy 707. No complaints concerning the equipment were made to the Department.

During this period (May 2024 – April 2025), the Department has used military equipment under this policy during community events (ERV and command post) and officer training (ERV, rifles, FN 303 MK2, Drones). The Department utilized the Command Post in a mutual aid request to assist with logistics and personnel on an authorized DUI checkpoint for an allied agency. The Department had three (3) incidents in which an outside agency provided their authorized UAS to assist with the search for fleeing suspects who posed a danger to the community. The Department officially stood up the UAS Drone program in December of 2024.

From December 2024 through the end of this period, the Department deployed drones in 27 incidents. These incidents included mutual aid assistance to allied agencies and for incidents taking place in the City of Pinole.

During this period, the Colt AR-15/M4 Carbine rifles underwent routine maintenance.

For the 2024/25 Annual City Budget, Council approved $30,000 for the purchase, training and maintenance of a UAS program (roll-over).

During this period, the Department performed much needed deferred maintenance to the Emergency Rescue Vehicle (ERV/MRAP) in the form of repair to the ballistic windshields.

Proposed Acquisition
In accordance with Government Code section 7072 (a), the Department is requesting approval for the purchase of one (1) additional DJI Mavic 3 Thermal (M3T) UAS (drone) as set forth in the annual report and inventory. The Mavic 3 is an unmanned Aerial System (UAS) designed for public safety. The UAS is a battery powered, remote operated device with a flight time of approximately 36-45 minutes depending on weather and flight conditions. The UAS has proven to be useful to public safety agencies in crime scene analysis, search and rescue, preoperation surveillance and other critical incidents where aerial views enhance the safety and efficiency of law enforcement personnel. The UAS would assist officers or incident commanders in situations that would include, but not limited to: major collision investigations,

City Council Report
June 3, 2025
emergency life threatening situations, search for missing persons, natural disaster management, crime scene photography, and critical incidents for preservation of life and public safety missions. The UAS falls under CA Government Code section 7070(c)(1) – Unmanned, remotely piloted, powered aerial or ground vehicles. The addition of a third drone will increase the redundancy of the program and provide additional training opportunities for our current and future pilots while maintaining appropriate equipment rotation for in-service.

The UAS is operated under FAA Part 107 authorization and regulations and in accordance with Department Policy 607- Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) Operations (Attachment D).

This policy ensures compliance with FAA regulations, sets forth training requirements, authorizations for use, privacy, and prohibited uses.

The Department has a significant interest in continuing to have access to equipment that will provide peace officers as many options as possible to safeguard lives, ensure safety, and protect civil liberties of the citizens of the City of Pinole. The use of the military equipment identified on the inventory list is vital to the Department’s mission and will continue to be strictly regulated through internal processes and oversight.

Renewal of Military Equipment Use Policy
In addition, the Department is required to re-submit the previously approved policy for reapproval consideration, as an agenda item during open session. The previously approved policy is attached to this report (Attachment C). Council must determine, based on the annual military equipment report, whether each type of military equipment identified in the report has complied with the following:

1. The military equipment is necessary because there is no reasonable alternative that can achieve the same objective of officer and civilian safety.

2. The policy will safeguard the public’s welfare, safety, civil rights, and civil liberties.

3. If purchasing the equipment, the equipment is reasonably cost effective compared to available alternatives that can achieve the same objective of officer and civilian safety.

4. Prior military equipment use complied with the military equipment use policy that was in effect at the time, or if prior uses did not comply with the accompanying military equipment use policy, corrective action has been taken to remedy nonconforming uses and ensure future compliance.

The Department does not anticipate any significant change in the previously approved policy but does seek approval to acquire additional equipment. The Department intends to acquire one (1) DJI Mavic 3 Thermal (M3T) UAS drone as further provided above. At this time, forecasted purchases for the Department in 2025/26 only include additional ammunition for the previously approved COLT AR15/M4 patrol rifles and projectiles for the previously approved FN 303 MK2 launchers which need to be replenished after being used in either the field or training environments. The Department also anticipates upgrading the front sights of the COLT AR15/M4 platform to increase low-light performance and durability. In addition, it intends to replace the patrol rifle lights due to the current light reaching the end of service life.

All items needing to be replenished are included in the policy and attached inventory which were previously approved by the City Council.

Any future attempts to obtain additional equipment not provided for herein will comply with procedures set forth in the Government Code and the approved military equipment policy; this includes a public hearing and City Council approval prior to acquisition.

Through acceptance of the annual report and renewal of the ordinance, the City Council will authorize the continued use of preexisting equipment considered “military equipment” under AB 481. This includes a Mine Resistant Ambush Protected Vehicle (MRAP) for use as an Emergency Rescue Vehicle (ERV) to safely evacuate residents in the event of a natural disaster or critical incidents, to move personnel and/or resources in support of natural disasters (i.e. flood, fire, earthquake), large scale logistics, active shooter incidents, and incidents where there is reason to expect potential armed resistance requiring protection. The Policy also includes a single unmanned, remotely piloted, powered ground vehicle used to enhance peace officer and community safety when encountering potentially dangerous situations by providing first responders with the ability to capture video and still images, and to transport communication equipment or other resources prior to, or in lieu of, sending in personnel into hazardous incidents or environments.

The use of UAS (drones) has proven to be vital to the safety and security of our community, enabling the Department to conduct area searches, located wanted persons, assess scenes prior to officer arrival and provide public safety services to our law enforcement partners.

Other items deemed to be “military equipment” under AB 481 include foundational equipment such as rifles and ammunition. These rifles allow peace officers to address lethal threats from a greater distance and with greater precision. The Department also seeks authorization to use four FN 303 MK2 Launcher and projectiles, to limit the escalation of conflict where employment of lethal force is prohibited or undesirable. The projectiles provide officers with a less-lethal option in incidents of combative or self-destructive individuals, riot/crowd control and civil unrest incidents, circumstances where a tactical advantage can be obtained, potentially vicious animals, and training exercises or approved demonstrations. The equipment allows for more time and opportunity to attempt to deescalate situations and provide for safer tactics to resolve life threatening events in the safest way possible.

The Policy safeguards the public’s welfare, safety, civil rights and civil liberties by ensuring that there are safeguards, including transparency, oversight, and accountability measures in place. For instance, the Policy authorizes the Chief of Police to designate a member of the Department to act as the military equipment coordinator. The responsibilities of the military equipment coordinator include, but are not limited, acting as a liaison to City Council for all matters related to the requirements of AB 481, identifying “military equipment” as defined under the statute, conducting annual inventory and review, collaborating with outside agencies, and scheduling and coordinating an annual community engagement hearing to address the Department's funding, acquisition, and use of military equipment.

In compliance with the Government Code, the Military Equipment Policy has remained on the Department’s transparency portal continuously since prior to Council adoption in 2022.

FISCAL IMPACT

City Council Report
June 3, 2025
There is no direct fiscal impact from the acceptance of the annual report or the approval of continuing the ordinance approving the military equipment use policy. The Policy explicitly references the fiscal impact related to costs to maintain or acquire equipment and is included in the existing department’s budget allocation.

CITY COUNCIL

REPORT XXX
DATE: June 17, 2025
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: ERIC CASHER, CITY ATTORNEY

COMMANDER JEREMY CRONE
SUBJECT: SECOND READING OF ORDINANCE APPROVING RENEWAL OF THE CITY OF PINOLE’S MILITARY EQUIPMENT POLICY AS
STATED IN CHAPTER 2.60 OF THE PINOLE MUNICIPAL CODE;
AND APPROVAL OF 2024-2025 ANNUAL REPORT

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council waive the second reading and adopt an ordinance approving the renewal of the City’s Military Equipment Use Policy as Stated in Chapter

2.60 “Military Equipment Policy” of the Pinole City Municipal Code, based upon approval of the Pinole Police Department’s 2024-2025 Annual Military Equipment Report, in compliance with AB 481.

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
California Assembly Bill (AB) 481 (Government Code §7070 et seq.) requires the Pinole Police Department (“Department”) to obtain City Council approval of a military equipment use policy by ordinance before purchasing, raising funds for, acquiring or using "military equipment" as defined in Government Code §7070 (c). Under AB 481, the City Council may only approve the policy if it makes specific findings regarding the equipment including safeguards, cost effectiveness, reasonableness of use, and fiscal impact.

On May 3, 2022, the City Council approved the Department’s Policy (identified as Department Policy 707) finding it meets the requirements under AB 481 and introduced and adopted an ordinance adding Chapter 2.60 “Military Equipment Policy” to the Pinole Municipal Code (Ord. 2022-02).

Once the Department obtains approval for a military equipment use policy, AB 481 requires the Department submit to the City Council an annual military equipment report for each type of military equipment approved within one year of approval, and annually thereafter for as long as the military equipment is available for use. The Department must also make each annual military equipment report publicly available on its internet website for as long as the military equipment is available for use. Additionally, the City Council must review the ordinance that it has adopted, approving the funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment, at least annually, and vote on whether to renew the ordinance at a regular meeting. During the review process, the City Council must

City Council Report
June 18, 2024
determine, based on the military equipment report, whether each type of military equipment in the report has complied with the standards for approval set forth in Government Code sections 7071(d)(1) and 7071(e)(2). The City Council most recently approved and reaffirmed the Department’s Policy on July 2, 2024 (Ord. 2024-04).

In compliance with the Government Code, the Department’s annual use report and policy was released to the community, via the Department’s transparency portal on May 7, 2025, and provided to City Council. On June 3, 2025, the Department held a wellpublicized and conveniently located public meeting, at which the general public was able to discuss and ask questions regarding the annual military equipment report and the law enforcement agency’s funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment.

By this ordinance the Department seeks City Council 1) approval of its 2024-2025 annual military equipment report, 2) authority to acquire one (1) DJI Mavic 3 Thermal (M3T) UAS drone and 3) renewal of Pinole Police Department Policy 707 upon a finding that the report has complied with the standards for approval set forth in Government Code sections 7071(d)(1) and 7071(e)(2). If approved on second read, the ordinance and policy will go into effect in thirty (30) days.

On June 3, 2025, at a regularly scheduled City Council Meeting, the Department presented its annual use report and proposed policy to Council for review and approval.

Additionally, a public hearing was held at which the general public was able to discuss and ask questions regarding the Department’s annual military equipment report and policy. After review and consideration, four councilmembers voted affirmatively and one councilmember voted against approval of the annual report and introduction by title only of the proposed ordinance to apprapproving and renewing Chapter 2.60 to the Pinole Municipal Code adopting the Policy in compliance with AB 481.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no direct fiscal impact from the adoption of the ordinance.

TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: David Hanham, Planning Manager, 510-724-9842, [email protected] SUBJECT: ADOPT AN ORDINANCE DESIGNATING FIRE HAZARD SEVERITY ZONE

MAP IN PINOLE

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council waive the second reading and adopt an Ordinance (Uncodified) to approve the City of Pinole Fire and Resource Assessment Program (FRAP) Map to designate Fire Hazard Severity Zones and direct staff to assess local implications related to zoning, building codes, defensible space requirements, and public education.

BACKGROUND
The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) released updated Fire Hazard Severity Zone (FHSZ) maps for Local Responsibility Areas (LRAs) on February 24, 2025. This is the first major update since 2009. Under Government Code Section 51179 and Senate Bill 63 (2021), cities are required to adopt these updated maps by ordinance. The City of Pinole contracts with the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District but remains responsible for adopting its own ordinance. The City Council introduced the Ordinance and held a public hearing on May 20, 2025.

REVIEW AND ANALYSIS
Adoption of the updated FHSZ maps aligns the City with State wildfire resilience laws and supports implementation of building and fire safety standards in designated hazard areas. The Ordinance is required to be adopted by June 24, 2025.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no direct fiscal impact associated with adopting the Ordinance. Failure to adopt the maps could result in non-compliance with state mandates and hinder local implementation of wildfire resilience programs.

REPORT 9.I.

DATE: JUNE 17, 2025
TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: Markisha Guillory, Finance Director, 510-724-9823, [email protected] SUBJECT: AMENDED RESERVE POLICY

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommend that the City Council adopt a resolution approving the amendment of the City's Reserve Policy to change the required General Reserve amount to 25% from 50% of total ongoing General Fund expenditures.

BACKGROUND
It is a best practice in public finance and recommendation of the National Advisory Council on State and Local Budgeting (NACSLB) and the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) that public agencies regularly review and update as appropriate their financial policies.

Consistent with best practices, the City either reconfirms or updates its financial and investment policies as part of the annual budget process.

The financial policies are intended to set guidelines on how the City will manage its financial resources as well as to provide direction for financial decision-making.

The City’s Reserve Policy states that the City will establish and maintain reserves to meet certain anticipated future obligations as well as to ensure that the City maintains adequate financial resources to continue to provide basic municipal services in the event of a significant unanticipated revenue decrease or expenditure increase. The policy requires the City to maintain a reserve equal to 50% of total ongoing General Fund expenditures.

At its meeting on April 16, 2025, the City Council adopted the current Reserve Policy, along with the City’s Financial and Investment Policies.

Throughout the FY 2025/26 budget development process, the City Council considered reducing the General Reserve level to free up funds that could be redirected toward funding any of the City’s unfunded liabilities, such as Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB). At its special meeting on May 13, 2025, the City Council directed staff to proceed with preparing a resolution to amend the Reserve Policy, changing the required General Reserve level to 25% from 50% of total ongoing General Fund expenditures.

REVIEW AND ANALYSIS
The GFOA recommends that governments establish a formal reserve policy based on the government’s specific circumstances. Factors to be considered include revenue and

expenditure predictability and volatility; perceived exposure to one-time disasters; the potential drain on general fund resources from other funds; the potential impact on the government’s bond rating and borrowing costs; and funds that are already committed or assigned for specific purposes. The GFOA generally recommends a reserve level that covers at least two months (17%) of ongoing General Fund operating expenditures.

The City’s current Reserve Policy requires the City to maintain a reserve balance equal to 50% of total ongoing General Fund expenditures.

During FY 2025/26 budget development discussions, staff recommended that, as a budget strategy, the City Council consider revising the Reserve Policy, changing the required General Reserve level to 25% from 50% of total ongoing General Fund expenditures. Further, staff recommended transferring the proceeds of approximately $2.4 million, resulting from reducing the reserve level, to the City’s established Section 115 trust to set aside funds to begin prefunding Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB). The City Council accepted staff's recommendations and directed staff to prepare a revised Reserve Policy for adoption.

A reserve level of 25% provides at least three months of expenditure coverage. This is above the GFOA recommended level and aligns with the average reserve level set by neighboring governments, as shown in Table 1 below.

Table 1 – Jurisdictional Comparison of General Fund Reserve Policy Jurisdiction General Fund Reserve Policy
Albany 25% of annual operating expenses
American Canyon 25% of annual operating expenses
Dixon 25% of annual operating expenses
El Cerrito A minimum of 10% of annual operating expenses Emeryville 50% of annual operating expenses
Hercules A minimum of 8.33% of General Fund expenses
Martinez A minimum of $5,000,000 (16.2% of annual operating expenses)

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact in adopting the resolution. The reduction in the General Reserve will provide approximately $2.4 million which will be transferred into the City’s Section 115 trust for the purpose of pre-funding Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB).

GENERAL FUND OPERATING EXPENDITURES
WHEREAS, the City of Pinole has financial policies, including investment policies, which govern management of the City’s fiscal resources; and WHEREAS, it is a best practice in public finance and a recommendation of the National Advisory Council on State and Local Budgeting (NACSLB) and the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) that cities regularly review and update as appropriate their financial policies; and

WHEREAS, the City’s current Reserve Policy to require that the General Reserve maintain a balance equal to 50% of total ongoing General Fund operating expenditures; and
WHEREAS, through budget discussions for FY 2025/26, staff recommended that the City Council consider revising the Reserve Policy to require that the General Reserve maintain a balance equal to 25% of total ongoing General Fund operating expenditures; and
WHEREAS, staff recommended that the difference in funds between the current 50% policy level and proposed 25% policy level be transferred into an interest-bearing trust to set aside funds to pay for Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB); and WHEREAS, during the special City Council meeting held on May 13, 2025, the Council accepted staff’s recommendation to revise the Reserve Policy and transfer funds to an OPEB trust.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Pinole hereby approves the City of Pinole revised Reserve Policy updated June 3, 2025, attached hereto as Exhibit 1.

Reserve Policy
Policy
The City will establish and maintain reserves to meet certain anticipated future obligations as well as to ensure that the City maintains adequate financial resources to continue to provide basic municipal services in the event of a significant unanticipated revenue decrease or expenditure increase.

To ensure that the City maintains adequate financial resources to continue to provide basic municipal services in the event of a significant unanticipated revenue decrease or expenditure increase.

Definitions and Details

5. This Policy shall be reviewed by the City Council periodically to ensure its consistency with current law and the City's current needs. 1 Per the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 54, “committed” includes amounts that can be used only for specific purposes determined by a formal action of the government’s highest level of decision-making authority.

CITY COUNCIL
REPORT 9.J.

DATE: JUNE 17, 2025
TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: Heba El-Guindy, Public Works Director, [email protected] SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF FISCAL YEAR 2025-26 CAPITAL BUDGET AND FIVE-YEAR

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution approving the Final Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-26 Capital Budget and Five-Year FY 2025-26 through 2029-30 Capital Improvement Plan.

BACKGROUND
As provided under Section 2.04.150 of Title 2 of the Pinole Municipal Code, the City Manager, in collaboration with the Finance Director and Public Works Director, have compiled budget recommendations for City capital projects for the next five fiscal years. The Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) serves as a tool for staff to plan, implement, and manage improvements and ongoing upgrades to the City’s infrastructure. The CIP is reviewed and updated annually for capital projects and programs. The CIP lists the capital projects that the City intends to undertake over the upcoming five-year period and associated schedule, cost, and funding source for each project.

A variety of funding sources support projects in the CIP. The first year’s program is adopted by the City Council as the Capital Budget, as a counterpart to the annual Operating Budget. The fiscal resources are appropriated only in the first year, the subsequent four years of the CIP are important for longer-term planning and subject to future review and modification. The Final FY 2025-26 through 2029-30 five-year CIP includes projects that fall under the following broad categories:
• Facilities
• Parks
• Sanitary Sewer
• Stormwater
• Streets and Roads
• Infrastructure Assessments
The preliminary five-year CIP was reviewed by the Finance Committee on April 24, 2025. The Committee members emphasized the need to focus on pavement rehabilitation, streetlighting and wastewater projects.

The proposed CIP was also reviewed by City Council on May 6, 2025. City Council members

commented on the various projects and directed staff to reduce and prioritize FY 2025-26 projects. It was also noted the need to minimize dependence on the City’s general funds, and to kick-start road projects, preferably as bundles, in order to reduce the design and construction costs that have been rising over past years. The CIP was revised and brought forward for City Council review and recommendations during the meetings held on May 13, 2025, and June 3, 2025, respectively, and no further changes were recommended.

Staff most recently presented the FY 2025-26 through FY 2029-30 CIP to the Planning Commission on June 9, 2025. The Planning commission discussed the CIP for conformity and consistency with the City's General Plan and determined that all the projects conform with the General Plan. One change made as part of the adopted Resolution is regarding Facilities project FA2302 - Plum Street Parking Lot Improvements which was determined to conform with Goal CE.5 of the Circulation Element, but not with Goal CS.2 - Policy CS.2.6 of the Community Services Element.

REVIEW AND ANALYSIS
The five-year CIP FY 2025-26 through FY 2029-30 contains 45 projects and 5 infrastructure assessments. FY 2025-26 capital budget is aggressive with a total of 24 projects and 2 infrastructure assessments. Projects prioritized for FY 2025-26 are determined necessary to enhance safety and operational conditions, minimize potential liability, and optimize maintenance and capital costs. These prioritized projects were selected based on short-term infrastructure needs, direction of the City Council, community input, availability of funds and funding sources, and staff resources.

FISCAL IMPACT
The Final FY 2025-26 through FY 2029-30 CIP identifies projects with estimated total costs of $91,248,449 to be funded by various funding sources including grants, enterprise fees, development impact fees, measure funds, vehicle impact fees, and potential debt financing in years two through five. FY 2025-26 capital budget contains projects totaling $12,140,449 as detailed in Attachment A and summarized below.

The children’s pool measures 25′ x 25′ and is two and a half (2.5) feet deep. The facility and pool offer amenities such as a handicap chair lift and full lockers to put your personal items and showers. Maintenance costs have been high due to the age and condition of the pools and associated equipment, and the main pool had to be closed for a number of months. This project will fully renovate and upgrade the pools along with associated amenities.

History, Status, or Impact if Delayed
Increased maintenance costs and potential for additional closures to avoid safety or liability issues.

In August 2024, City Council adopted the City’s Climate Action and Adaptation Plan (CAAP) to achieve carbon neutrality by 2045, in alignment with the State’s Senate Bill 32 and Assembly Bill 1279. Pinole’s community-wide and municipal greenhouse gas (GHG) inventories identified the transportation sector as the largest source of emissions, accounting for 50% of the total GHG emissions. In December 2024, the City’s Community Development Department submitted to the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) an application requesting $952,000 in grant funds in addition to a required 11% local match ($118,000) for a total Project cost of 1,070,000 for accelerating zeroemission vehicle adoption and expanding the EV charging infrastructure in alignment with the Pinole’s CAAP goals.

History, Status, or Impact if Delayed
The CAAP recommends installation of 267 level 2 chargers by 2030 and 323 level 2 chargers by 2045, increasing passenger zero-emission vehicles (ZEV) use to 33% by 2030, increasing commercial zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) use to 25% by 2030, and electrifying or otherwise decarbonizing 30% of the municipal vehicle fleet by 2026.

SS2203 - EFFLUENT OUTFALL
Regulatory Requirement
USE(S)
Planning
Description
The Effluent Outfall project is intended to reduce pressure in the effluent pipe during extreme storm events. Effluent pumping capacity of the treatment plant is limited by the capacity of the pipe size at the effluent outfall in Rodeo.

Increasing the pipe size at the Effluent Outfall Eductor Station will increase the wet weather effluent pumping capacity and increase the lifespan of the effluent pipe by reducing the pressure in the line during storm events. This project requires coordination with Rodeo.

History, Status, or Impact if Delayed
The RWQCB recently adopted a 40% reduction in nitrogen discharge limits for the San Francisco Bay Region. Options to meet the future permit limits will be evaluated.

Description
The Water Pollution Control Plant (WPCP) has five secondary clarifiers which slow the flow to allow the microorganisms and other solids to settle to the bottom of the clarifier where they can be returned to aeration tanks to continue treating waste.

History, Status, or Impact if Delayed
Secondary Clarifiers 1 and 2 (SC1 and SC 2) were constructed in the early 1970s and are peripheral feed clarifiers. Secondary Clarifiers 3 and 4 (SC 3 and SC 4) were constructed in the early 1980s and are center feed clarifiers. Secondary Clarifier 5 (SC 5) was constructed in early 2000 and is a center feed, flocculator clarifier. In the first quarter of FY 2022-23, a preliminary inspection of the center column of the SC 5 was completed to examine the current condition and determine the scope of work for rehabilitation. In the second quarter of FY 2022-23, it was determined that SC 3 & SC 4 also require rehabilitation. Previously, this project was titled, "Secondary Clarifier - Center Column Rehabilitation" which only focused on the rehabilitation work required for SC 5.
